Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 21,405 votes, 2.1× the 9,970-vote margin.
21,405 ÷ 9,970 = 2.1
The top two polled 67.0% of votes; the other 8 candidates 33.0% between them.
(45,071 + 35,101) ÷ 1,19,677 = 67.0% · 39,505 ÷ 1,19,677 = 33.0%
Turnout of 53.0% was 2.8 pp below the state's median seat (55.8%).
53.0 − 55.8 = −2.8
